Notes: 1. Finely (and I really do mean finely) dice your ginger and put into a steeping bag.
2. Cut your 6 lemons and 3 limes into quarters, squeezing each one into the water. Once squeezed, throw the slices in the water.
3. Add your 3 cinnamon sticks and 3 cloves.
4. Boil for 60 minutes.
5. Once 60 minutes has been reached, remove all of your steeping items and add your sugar. Boil an additional 10 minutes to sterilize the sugar.
Note: I found that by leaving the steeping items in the water, they tend to absorb the sugar, thereby affecting your gravity.
6. Dilute the wort with your other 2 gallons of water to chill it quicker. Aerate, then pitch your yeast.
7. Take continuous gravity readings, and stop around 1.011 or 1.010. The higher the gravity, the sweeter and more syrupy it will be. 1.011 is a good cross between sweet with just enough dryness.
8. Once FG is acheived, bottle using a plastic bottle to tell where your carbonation is at. Once carbonation has been acheived, pasteurize and you're done.
Other notes: Ginger and citrus slows the fermentation process, this can take up to a month or more, have patience and you'll get there.
I opted to use a champaigne yeast, as EC-1118 has almost no flavor profile, and has a huge ideal temperature range. This makes it easier to make this year-round. |

Notes: Brewed 1/30/22
OG 1.040. Flaked barley did not add any gravity points as this calculator suggested it would. Not an unexpected result. Set PPG to 0 to correct calculations.
IBU will be higher than desired (though still to style) due to this and the late addition of the 3.5lbs of the extract. Would have preferred ~30. Should have cut aroma hops in half to 0.5oz to compensate. Didn't think about it.
SRM much lighter than anticipated, estimated about 20. More of caramel color then the soft black I associate with an Irish dry stout. The roasted barley I purchased listed a lovibond of 480-720 but even 480L plugged into the calculator yielded an SRM of 27 so I'd guess it was more in the 300L rang. I was hoping for roasted barley at 600L for an SRM around 32. If I do this recipe again I'll up the roasted barley to 20oz for color.
Pitched one packet of rehydrated Nottingham yeast into fermenter at 56f.
Temperature briefly touched 62f early in fermentation but only briefly and primarily stayed 58-60f.
Sampled 2/6/22. Attenuated to 1.009. Slight sulfur aroma. Roasty, almost oatey with a distinct lactic acid tang. Nicely dry. The flaked barley and acidulated malt feel like they're working together to make a creamy taste without the texture.
Sampled 2/9/2022. Attenuated to 1.008. Probably the end of the road. Sulfur smell almost completely dissipated. Very pleasant taste. Tastes of coffee and oatmeal with just a hint of cream and tart fruit.
Note: The color means I'm probably going to call this an Irish Dry Ale. The flavor and everything else is to style but I can't imagine calling something this light a stout.

Notes: Check the ingredients against yourrecipe sheettomake sure you have everything
listed. Place the yeastin the refrigerator.
Early on the brew day, remove the yeast from the fridge and allow it to come to
room temperature. Activate your yeast package. If using Wyeast’s “smack pack”
follow their directions.
Clean your brewing equipment so that it is clean to your eye, dust free, and then
sanitize all equipment that will be used during brewing with a no wash sanitizer.
In a 3+ gallon stockpot, begin heating 2.5 gallons of water and bring to 150-170°
F. While the water is heating, place the crushed grains in your bag and tie it
off. Make sure to have the grains loose in the back, don’t pack them. Check
the temperature of your water with the thermometer and make sure the
water is between 150-170° F. Remove bag, drain over the brew pot, and
discard the grains.
Bring the resulting liquid (now called wort) to a boil. Once it reaches a boil, turn
off the heat and add the first extract in your recipe. Stir well and make sure it
doesn’t burn or scorch on the bottom, then return the heat.
Bring to a boil. Keep the lid off of the pot during this period, allowing
steam to escape. Try to keep a consistent rolling boil.
Once the wort is boiling set your timer for 60 minutes and add bittering hops to
your recipe. These are the first hops listed as “60 minutes” on your recipe.
The times listed in a recipe always state how long the hops or other ingredients
should be boiled.
As the timer hits 0, turn off the heat and add the rest of the malt extract or
any 0 minute hops your recipe calls for. After your 60 minute boil the total
volume of your wort will be 10-20% less than your original volume.
Chill your wort immediately. You can use a wort chiller, or place your kettle
in an ice bath in the sink. When your wort is under 90 degrees, pour into
your fermenter (using a funnel if you have a carboy), or use your sanitized
auto-siphon.
While the wort is chilling, gather your already cleaned and sanitized
equipment: the hydrometer and tube, thermometer, fermenter, lid, airlock,
and carboy cap if using a carboy. Anything that touches the wort after the
boil should be sanitized and placed on a clean counter or paper towel.
Top up with cool water to the 5.25 gallon mark on your fermenter. Stir well, or
agitate the wort to provide aeration. Take a sample out of the fermenter using a
wine theif or racking cane, and place the hydrometer in your test tube. Float the
hydrometer in the wort, spinning gently to keep it from touching the sides. This
reading is your “Original Gravity” or OG for short.
Using sanitized scissors to open a corner of your yeast package, or open
the vial (depending on the brand of yeast you have), and add it to your
wort.
Coverwith the sanitized lid or bung, and fillthe airlock up to the linewith
cleanwater. Place the airlock in the hole, and keep in a dark place, ideally at
65-66° Fahrenheit, unless yourrecipe states otherwise.
Cover with a sanitized lid or bung and fill the airlock up to the marked line
with clean water or sanitizer. Place the airlock in the hole of your bung or
bucked, place the fermenter in a dark space (ideally at 65-66°F), and let
your homebrew ferment.
Signs of activity should start within 24 – 48 hours, and continue for
several days finally completing after 10 – 14 days provided the
fermentation has stopped. One the foam (also known as krausen) has
fallen back down allow the beer to sit and clear for a few more days. You
can now take another reading with your hydrometer by extracting some
of the beer with a sanitized wine theif or racking cane. This reading will
be your “Final Gravity”, also known as FG. In at least two days check it
again, if it is the same then your beer can now be bottled. If your beer
calls for dryhops then this is the stage in which they will be added. |
